sEDITToUs CIRCULAR,
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. sl-The sheriff
and police department were considerably
sgitated yesterday by the circulation
from an unknown source through the
mails of the following circular, which is
without signature or other Identification:
Notice, workingmen. VIII you as work
ingmen of Chicago allow the champions
Of Vour legitimate rights who are confined
in jail under sentence Of death brought
about absolutely by public clRmor, occs-
stoned by grossly exaggerated and icti-
clous statements Of the capitalistic press,
hspgP It would be damaging TO thus land
of boosted civilization. WorkIpgmep, If
these champions are to hang On the
IIth Of November, rise in your
might and effect their rescue. The
independence Of Sthe Uuited States was
brought about by the use OF bombs and
firearms. They are effective. Fore
warned is forearmed. Any action that
may be determined upon should be kept
secTet-until the proper time. 1t is not
st all probable that the military will be on
the scene at any attempted execution
This notice is not intended for any who
are not in sympathy with the condemned
men, Further notice will be given later
on.
Sheri # MGtesOp, who was shown enc of
the circulars yesterday, said be had no
idea who were circulating the seditious
sheet, and declined 10 express his
opinion on it's Importance for dsy or
two. Captain Setback was OF the opinion
that it had emsnsted from the brain of
some crank VINO has access to printing
press.
AN ELABORATE OPINION EXPECTED.
WAsHIKGToN Oct. 81 The failure OF
the Unite d States Supreme court to rer-
der decision to-day in the anarchists
cases, and the announcement by the Chief
Justice that the court would not be ready
to make decision till Wednesday or
Thursday, sre thought TO indicate nothing
more than that the courts Judgment will
be set forth in more or less elaborate
opinion. II is the general belief Of the
lawyers who practice at the Supreme
court bar that the petition for writ of
error will be denied, but this belief is
based only on their views Of constltu-
tjonal law, and the impression made upon
their minds by the argument. The JUS
tees of the court will not OF course
allow any intimstion to escape them ss 70
their views until the decision has been
formally announced from the bench.
OFFICIALS TERzATENED,
CHICAGO, ILL Oct. 31.--The Evening
Journal says tonight: Unwilling to risk
their chances for commutation Of the
sentence OF the anarchists in the county
isl on legal tschaicaIities, VoIuminous pl
titions and vitrioltc 0istribes, the snsrch
lists sympathizsrs have, according 10 most
trustworthy report, cescen0ed once more
to the use OF that satanic and id0tic
method OF persuasion, the antTymous
letter, and during the past three
weeks, Judge Garry, Attorney Grinnell,
and others connected with the famous
trisl, says this same authority, have been
daily deluged with letters Of this kind.
While the officials themselves pay no heed
to this form Of attack, their wives have
been made 10 suffer for them. Especially
is this the case with Mrs. Grinnell, due
to the receipt Of letters in which
the writers threaten, in case Of nothing
being accomplished to save the seven
men, TO kidnap Ter children. In eonse-
quepce, she suffers mental terror when
they are out of her sight. Fearful thst
the threat will be carried out, the police
watch in the nelghb0rhood of Judge Ca
ry's and Mr.. Grinnell's has been strength
ened. While adding In some sense TO the
security of the vicinity, nevertheless this
keeps the possible results of an attack
upon the houses Of the two officials fresh
in the minds of the residents. Garry
himself treats the letters with the con-
tempt characteristic Of the brave jurist,
and pursues his daily routine of business
with undIminished calm. Despite his at
tltude, however, he is followed to and
from his residence by a detective ever
ready to spring to his aid should occasion
require, and sn attack upon his person
would have tobe executed with skillful
Ctlerity TO be successful.
STRONG APPEAL.
CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 3i.-Captain Black
arrived from Washington this morning.
Referring to the anarchists case he said
If the decision at Washington is adverse,
the strongest kind of an effort then will
be made to obtain clemenoy from the Gov
ernor. He thinks the revenge circulars
printed were cencocted by the enemies
of the condemned men.
